May be I'll do this every month? May be not!
1. Did yoga with my rockstar BFF yoga instructor just less than a handful of times.
2. Did all my interviews (may be?)- except 1- and they ruled, hanging out with awesome folk=studying.
3. Got off the board... one board... the one I wanted off of....
4. Hung out with some rad friends, not regularly enough- but that's what the coming months are for!
5. Started teaching a new class, as of last week- its going great- let's stick with that.
6. Networked with a super awesome prof from England. Great connection.
7. Changed my karaoke fail-safe to Britney.
8. Hung out with another rad friend, who I've known all my life- who I'm so proud of.
9. Did something I've been meaning to do for months, work related, that intimidated me (for no reason......)
10. Got a gold card- not the credit kind, the I impressed someone super important in my life kind.
11. I know the second half of point 10 cause his mother got in touch and said so.
12. Left town, got a bunch of work done, made a friend with a cute nose, and caught up with his parents.
13. Started Ballroom Dancing.
14. Rocked a radio interview and had lunch after with two of my favourite rad/babes
15. I'm sitting in on a pretty wicked class, that is undoubtedly making me a bigger/better person
16. Had some great nights out on the town with my baby (some with cameo appearances)
Looks pretty good to me, I should mention though- I'm probably missing things AND it wasn't all sunshine and roses, I went through a super low energy patch this past week which is never... good... I think it was related to terrible diet.... or the fact that I worked through all the weekend before.... whatevs, c'est la vie!
And I'm caught up.
P.S. Meatloaf is going to be at the Boulevard Casino on March 18th. Just so you know.

2 out of 3 aint bad?
The first Cd I bought with my own money was 'Bat out of Hell 2'- the first CD that was ever given to me was Holly Cole's 'Don't Smoke in Bed'. (The title scandalized me). I liked music- it felt like an investment!
I took my mother to the music store at the 'mall' (read: walking track for senior citizens) to buy me Michael Jackson's Bad- I think this must be marketing at work, or may be I found out about him from one of my cousins? I had a short-lived crush.... we came home with the Jackson 5 on tape because she decided 'Bad' wasn't appropriate for me..... made no difference- I played that thing til it wore out.
Anyways, I later, much later, bought Bat Out of Hell because I felt like I 'had' to have it as part of my collection. Right now, not listening to music- I really can't remember much of a tune.
2 out of 3..... isn't that kind of like 66%.... a C+ in my world.... hmmm, 'not bad'.
Okay, so Meatloaf and I have different standards.... good to know?

This May be One of Three......
...cause I'm behind- story of my life... and of yours probably....
Doing my undergrad, at the watering hole one night me and a guy I went to school with, who I still like, unlike most of the dudes in my undergrad... thought about 'international day of stopping'- we were going to spread the word, worldwide, and about 60 years from now everyone would stop doing what they didn't like doing.... I still think that in someways this could work- if I ignore the fact that some people might 'stop ignoring their urges to kill or whatever'. Anyways.... I started telling that story to make some point about societal burnout.... but really, I don't know what I'm talking about....
So I'm behind in my blog- and its still the first month of 2011- I think the good news is that I've learned from this; the post I owe from two weeks ago isn't here because I psyched myself out thinking I should publish a photo.... who do I think I am? Tom? The creator of myspace?
Last week's blog post is missing because school is freaking busy already- I wish I was surprised but seriously- gotta protect your time Mary.....
I'm toying with my 'new month rezolution' as part of the epic list of new year's rezolutions..... I think its going to involve nightly lists of things to do..... I like lists, and control..... not news..... these are things I won't be stopping anytime soon.

If You Seek Amy
When I was a young teen, hanging out in the 'square'- we all went by street names.... I went through a few before settling on 'Cherry', the girl who I followed downtown who I thought was just the coolest. thing. ever. was named Peach- I liked aligning myself with her by taking on a fruit name.... once getting the 'Cherry' part down, I took on the full (street) name of 'Cherry Mary Muffin'- a doll around for two minutes in the early 90s.
So on New Year's Day- I peeled myself off the couch for a brief moment to walk to the store in search of pop and candy. Mission accomplished. Abs rolled with. On our way home, we came face to face with a pug. Abbey tried to eat it... which I don't condone necessarily... but this whole incident brought to my attention my major pug guilt.... I'm not into pugs, completely irrationally- I don't think I've ever had a pug interaction, but as a chihuahua owner, another breed often irrationally hated- I feel like I should be more open minded....

So Mary how was your NYE?
Rocky start. Strong finish.
I've been to 560 twice now, that pretty much makes it my hang out......
We crawled into bed just before 6am- this makes me seem like a party animal......
Its actually a side effect of my super-hero lifestyle.... gender, sexuality and women's studies student by day support worker by night..... well six nights a month lately, one of them being December 30th so I was in nighthawk mode.
The whole new calendar is one of my favorite times of year, not the whole overpriced-bar-drinking-thing (though that had a happy ending last night, and great during btw), and, for whatever reason I feel really strongly about January 1rst. I worked the 25th this year, and I wanted to, I've had my arm twisted to work the 26th in the past, and I wasn't even that much of a birthday monster this year.... but January 1rst.
I'm on one love seat, my darling is on the other, I'm in comfy pjs (with fluffy pink and white slippers fyi), he's all curled up in his blue house coat (though I've been known to borrow it...). Three out of five kids hanging out.... really this is bliss. Mmmm, pizza.
Really, I also like the resolution thing- that embarrasses me a little, but I really do- I like the reflection leading up- and I know its good for me as a person. Then writing out the resolutions once in my journal and once in my agenda is a ritual I really enjoy, I didn't resolve or make a to do list last year... and I felt like I missed out a little. I'm making up for it this time around boy oh boy, I have a triumphant list of 11 (plus two things to 'keep in mind') AND I've made a coded system to keep track of everything. Really, this excites me.
Anysway, I keep telling myself I'm going to start a blog- may be, may be not, may be.... and you know, I don't want to think about it anymore, so here I am.
